Teresa was great to work with while planning my proposal. She was stealth when needed and captured the moment beautifully. We received the whole album of work within 24 hours and we were blown away by the final product. Teresa even stuck around after the proposal to let us have a moment together and calm down prior to taking more pictures. I really appreciate her effort and how comfortable she made my fiancé feel. I would recommend!!

Teresa did a great job as photographer of our civil ceremony wedding. She was very responsive and asked good questions to better understand our dynamic. I appreciated that she pushed us out of our "comfort zone" in terms of poses and types of shots. The final product looked great and made our day all the more special. Her rate is a great value and I would highly recommend her.

Details: Wedding • Fewer than 25 guests • Outdoors • Physical proofs or prints

Teresa was GREAT! We really enjoyed working with her for our wedding day! She was detailed and friendly, and she worked well with getting our kids to show their smiles and express their personalities! She knew her way around the Santa Barbara Courthouse which put me at ease knowing we needed to show up and she directed us where to go to get really great photos to document our special day!!! Her bedside manner was fun, full of experience, attentive and worked with our requests. Teresa was a seasoned professional who if given the opportunity we will be using her again for the future!

Amazing! Highly recommend for a courthouse wedding in Santa Barbara, not only are the photos beautiful (can’t wait to see the rest!!!) but she walked us through the process of what everything would look like for the day and honestly was our guide for the day. If you’re looking for a photographer just book her! Amazing! Friendly, kind, welcoming, bubbly, great photographer and an awesome person over Allan
